5 Things to Look for When Choosing an Affiliate Program

There are Five Steps you need to take when finding good affiliate programs to promote.

There are many benefits to becoming an affiliate and promoting products that earn passive income. Some of the benefits include:

Enhancing your customer’s experience
Providing high-quality products you don’t have to create
Earning commissions while you sleep
Building relationships with content creators

Affiliate marketing sales account for 15% of all digital media revenue at nearly 12 billion dollars in 2019. That means there are a lot of opportunities to be an affiliate and promote goods, services, and products to your customers. How do you choose the right affiliate program for you?

Here’s 5 things to look for when choosing an affiliate program.

Percentage of commission- Your commission is based on a few factors. Generally, affiliates earn a flat percentage for the sale of a product. That commission may change if there is a large volume of sales or specific goals of a sales campaign are met. Typical percentages range from 5% to 30% so it’s important to find affiliate programs that pay out higher percentages. Additionally, some affiliate programs pay out over and again anytime one of your customers makes a purchase. By tagging them and anchoring their connection to you it is possible that you can continue to earn commissions any time someone you referred makes a purchase.

Availability of promotional products- The benefit of affiliate marketing is making money by promoting products someone else has created. You save time, money, and other resources by simply endorsing something you support and recommend. Choosing affiliate programs that offer a wide variety of products and supportive promotional materials makes it easier to consistently make offers to your community and generate sales.

Accessibility to the product owner- The best affiliate programs are between providers you know, like, and trust. Having a first-hand relationship is ideal but not required. Having access to the product owner means you’ll be able to reach someone if there is a customer service need. While you may not always need access to the owner directly, there should be a clear channel to connect with them if and when you need to.

Customer services practices of the product owner- If one of your customers is dissatisfied or needs assistance, they will look to you since you made the sale, so it’s valuable to know and trust you’ll be able to reach someone if there is a problem. Knowing what the policies and procedures are ahead of time can save a lot of headaches down the road.

Payment practices of the product owner- Knowing how and when you’ll be paid is important. After all, this is the main reason you are promoting their products. Make sure you fully understand how often and by what means the product owner pays out affiliate commissions.

Choosing an affiliate program is much more than loving a great product. Pay attention to the back-end issues that matter most when joining a program. Make the best decisions for you and your customers to ensure you connect and align with the best affiliate programs for your needs and expectations.

Use Affiliate Marketing to Boost your Income

What Is Affiliate Marketing and How Can It Boost Your Income?

Affiliate marketing is promoting and selling goods, services, or content created by someone else to your contacts.

You do the leg work to promote and make sales for the affiliate program you endorse and earn income for your efforts. Being an affiliate is an excellent way to boost your income.

Here’s how it works

A business creates a product and makes it available to its affiliates for sales.

The affiliates promote the product to their customers by endorsing the company that created it or the product itself.

The income generated from the promotion and sales of the product produces commissions. This creates passive income for the affiliates and value for the affiliate’s customers.

Here’s why it works-

Affiliate programs are an excellent way to boost income. Most of the work is done for you by the product owner.

All that’s left is to promote the products and encourage sales. Creating a solid campaign to market the products is easy.

Generally, the product owner includes valuable marketing content that you can use to advertise and promote the products.

Making smart decisions about what products you promote to your customer base will ensure that sales are high, and income is flowing in.

If you’ve got customers, you’re ready to be an affiliate

If you have a customer base and are already routinely engaging your customers, affiliate marketing is an excellent way to enhance their experience.

Your customers see you as a leader and an expert. When you support or endorse other products, they pay attention.

In a way, your recommendation might be all they need to make a buying decision.

This means you can offer high-quality options for your tribe to meet their needs without having to create content or products. It’s a win-win!

Use affiliate marketing to enhance the goods and services you already provide

increase income — Increase income value ladder

If another business in your industry compliments your business, becoming an affiliate makes perfect sense.

If their product adds value to the goods and services you offer, encouraging your customers to buy it is actually in their best interest.

Offering opportunities to buy products outside of your typical funnel can expand your ability to connect with your customers without having to create a whole new product line or funnel.

This can be an excellent move when you’re deeply rooted with a tribe or community and want to add extra value to the enduring relationships.

Affiliate marketing is a Great way to boost your income and offer your customers high-quality goods and services.

Partnering with other businesses who produce products can widen your reach and help make a bigger impact on your customer base and your income.

Affiliate marketing is one of the best ways for newer online businesses to increase their Bottom line.

No need to create your own products

No Customer service problems.

This is Great for the person looking to increase income.

Do you Know your Freedom Number?

You Have To Know Where You’re At Right Now To Measure Growth & Figure Out What You Should Be Working On

Are you ready to take your online business to the next level and watch some explosive growth unfold over the coming months? Great. Before you start to plot and plan what you want to do to make that happen, it’s important to stop and look at where you’re at right now.

Business planning for future success is all about data. You can work most efficiently and spend your time and money most effectively if you know exactly where you are starting from. By recording data, you can start to see what’s working, what isn’t, and what trends are starting to play out. And it all starts with recording where you’re at right now.

Let’s take a look at some of the things you want to record. First though, you should decide how you want to record this information. You can write it down by hand in a notebook, open up a word document to do it digitally, or use a spreadsheet. I prefer a spreadsheet because I have the option to have it calculate fun additional information like weekly and monthly averages and even map it all out in graphics to help me get a clearer picture.

Traffic – To grow you need to expand your reach. That means getting more traffic, but also engaging the people that come to your site by encouraging them to click around and read more. Good things to keep track of are total visitors, unique visitors, bounce rate, and of course where the traffic is coming from.

Know your number

List / Subscribers – Your next goal is always to get these people on your list. Here you want to track total number of subscribers, conversion rates for each of your opt-in forms and pages, open rates for your emails, and also unsubscribes. As you start to collect and review this data regularly, you’ll get a much better picture of your subscribers.

Customers – Subscribers are great, customers are better. Start by keeping track of how many total customers you have and how many purchases per day, week, and month. Other good numbers to look at are total lifetime value of your average customer, repeat purchases, and refund rates.

Income & Expenses – Last but not least, look at your bottom line. This is your typical accounting data. You want to keep track of your income as well as your expenses. With those two sets of numbers, you can easily calculate your overall profit. I find it helpful to look at profit for the month, but track income on a daily basis.

Yes, you can look at most of this data in various different places like Google Analytics, your shopping cart, and your autoresponder service for example, but it’s important to have it all in one place. This makes it much easier to connect the dots and see the relationships between the different sets of numbers.

Now that you have your initial data collection set up, make it a habit to update the numbers regularly so you can see what’s working, what isn’t, and how much you’re growing as you move through the coming months and years.

Who are your Mentors?

Are you working with people who love what they do and help others reach a Lifestyle of Freedom:

What if you could find a community that believes in giving everyone an opportunity for Success.

Looking for

Lucrative Commissions
Residual Income
Being Job Free
Not having a boss
Time Freedom
Unlimited Income Potential
Positive, Inspiring & Supportive Relationships With Great People
The Ability To Travel The World
Fun Events
Be A Business Owner Without Having To Create The Product

On day 3 when we discussed increasing website traffic, subscribers, as well as clients to add to our profits.

Today we broaden on this whole concept.

Continue with Social Media, Blogging and include Video into your Marketing Plan.

The idea is to make progress on your goals and stack them in a manner that offers you greater success.

Below’s an example.

Set a goal which is to grow your current part-time income by $1,500 a month so you can quit your day job.

Meet business objective by expanding your web traffic to build your community.

If Reaching your $1,500 your goal allows you to leave a job.

Set more enthusiastic goals and include one more strategy to increase your profit to $6,000.

Using some of the profits it is time to Scale your business.

Take a percentage per month to play around with Facebook ads.
Time to outsource some task contracting out several of the continuous tasks that hold you back.

Contact entrepreneurs in your specific niche and collaborate with each other.

Do you see how this works?

One goal improves on the other as well as stacking objectives to generate crazy growth.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

Always be stretching yourself pushing for Bigger Goals

My point is this …

If you start to think strategically keeping one eye on your next few objectives, you can start to stack your efforts.

Plan for that explosive growth in a lot less time than you may think.

Try it!

We’re coming to the end of our seven-day tips to making use of a well thought out business plan.

Have a Daily Method of Operation
Get out of your Comfort Zone
Try new things.
If doing Video Scares you. It is time to do it.

Day 6 Real Growth Requires You To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Can you think back on a time of real life-changing Growth, be it in-home business, in your individual life, or anywhere else? Did you need to get out of your comfort zone?

More than likely, you had to step out of a place where you are comfortable for that growth to occur.

Yes, we can make progress by doing what we have actually always done.

It will be slow as well as much more notably, by staying within your comfort zone, you are limiting your possible development.

It’s when we step out of that area, try something new, take a little bit of danger, and allow for personal and skills growth that we start to see big changes for the better.

Let’s say your goal is to grow your reach and also increase your target audience.

What you’ve done so far and what really feels comfy is creating a blog post a week and afterwards sharing it on social networks.

Yes, some readers will certainly discover you.

Yes, if you increase workload, publishing even more blog posts per week as well as sharing regularly across all your social media accounts, you will see some increased growth in your business.

However, you’re remaining in your comfort zone.

What if instead of increasing the same types of tasks you switched it up a bit.

Why not explore writing as a guest blogger on another blog for more exposure?

How about finally facing your fears and start a YouTube, Channel?

Youtube is a perfect way to repurpose some old blog post.

Once you produce your video on the Blog topic you can embed it on your blog post to give new life to your Blog.

Including Video in the mix of your weekly workload increases your chances of being found and building your community.

Recording a series of video clips provides you with the opportunity to get to a totally different part of your target market.

There are lots of people who would rather view video web content to typed out articles on a Blog.

There are people that spend hrs daily on YouTube who would never come across you and your blog otherwise.

Investing money on paid ads can sound like a terrifying idea but once you find something that works, convert well and you if you have a budget it may be time to scale with advertising.

Note this should not be done without knowing what your conversions are.

If you decide to put your money into paid ads make sure are tracking your results

I would like to mention everyone feels awkward when starting something new.

Remember your first Blog post?

How long did it take you to finally hit the publish button?

When you start anything it may seem hard or awkward but with consistent work, it does get easier.

So jump out of your comfort zone.

If you need to set up a Youtube do it today!

Then do your first video.

Good luck.

Day 5 Write Your Business Goals Down. Why is this important

In this short little series on setting Business goals, I have discussed the importance of recording goals by writing them down.

This is not just an exercise, there’s a whole lot more to it. There have been studies that suggest this is a very important step.

In this post I share my ideas on this and also with any luck influence you to jot down your very own objectives going forward.

By the way, this benefits any kind of goal, not just business ones.

The basic act of writing your goals down helps to give Clarity and, doubles your chances of success.

Why Business Planning Is The Secret To Success For The Coming Year

Record keeping

That’s a pretty big bargain by itself, isn’t it?

If you take it a step further and have those goals recorded on computer or phone and review them often, you’re 10 times more likely to have success.

Check out that last line once again, please. That’s right … you can increase your possibilities of making it by 1,000%.

That’s astonishing.
There are a few different mental and psychological processes going on below that start to give us a glimpse into why it is so crucial and efficient to jot our objectives down.

The first is that it is better to keep in mind something that we’ve written down.

You have actually experienced this with your grocery store list.

When you make a mental list of 10 or 15 items, you’re likely to forget fifty per cent of them when you reach the store.

If you write out the grocery list on the on a piece of paper, and after that end up neglecting it on the counter, you will remember the huge majority of the products you needed.

This is explained through the fact that information has to be moved from one location of the mind to one more to transform it from ideas right into created words on paper.

A process called encoding is part of the equation. This helps you retain and store the details much better.

It’s the reason we’re asked to make a note or keep in mind throughout lectures in college.

Last but not least, when you list your goals, you have something you can evaluate regularly.

This includes an additional layer of cognitive handling as well as raises your opportunities of success.

Sadly, only an extremely small percentage of people make the time to routinely examine business goals and objectives.

The ones that do review business goals on a regular basis are the most effective at meeting the goals they set,

Success leaves clues so if successful business owners are writing down goals should we follow their lead.

To recap, start by setting smart goals.

Write them down in as much detail as possible.

Our objectives should be routinely reviewed to keep on track.

This can be once a week, twice a week or even daily.

Use this goal setting and reviewing goals routine for this coming quarter.

Record an objective. Make the goal as clear as possible. This might be something like ultimately producing that very first paid product or adding a specific dollar amount to your bottom line.

Choose a definite date when you’ll reach your goal and also how you plan to get there.

Write everything down and also commit to reviewing it daily.

This will bring clarity to the business goal and keep you on track.

Reviewing Goals regularly will give you clarity and will provide focus to progress forward in having a successful Business Plan.

Day 4 How To Work Backwards To Set Your Business Goals

Today I wish to share my thinking procedure for establishing smart business goals with you.

I like to function backwards from a monetary goal to everyday order of business.

Below’s just how that works.

It starts with a cash objective. It helps if that goal has a significance monthly dollar amount.

Let’s say that I want to buy a brand-new automobile.

The repayment is around $400 monthly. To represent other variables like tax obligations and also simply to be risk-free, I’ll bump the objective as much as $600.

Simply put, I decide to include all variables bump up the money needed to $600 (or even more … more is always much better) to my regular monthly bottom line.

When that’s done I know what I need to have coming in to cover the cost before purchasing my new Automobille.

Once I know how much money I need to make, I can start to think of different ways to do just that.

I could increase my traffic to get more clients to my site and convert a percentage of them into buying customers.

If I have a $10 eBook, I would have to make an added 60 sales per month. From there I can function backwards. If I recognize that usually, one out of 10 e-mail subscribers acquire the book within the first month of registering,

I would have to add 600 brand-new subscribers to my subscriber’s list, which subsequently takes 4,000 brand-new site visitors to my website. If that’s my plan, I understand that my daily to-do list needs to include a lot of activity steps to ramp up my web traffic by an extra 4,000 people monthly.

Certainly that’s not my only choice.

I can also produce some additional affiliate offers and market it to both my existing as well as new customers.

I could produce a higher-valued thing so I require to make a whole lot less month-to-month sales to reach my $600 goal. As an example, if I create a wonderful $100 product, it would just take 6 sales monthly to pay for the auto.

Because the car repayment will certainly be a recurring thing, it also makes good sense to check into repeating repayments.

This could be my very own subscription, or I can check out affiliate product with monthly compensations.

Depending on your market, there’s a lot out there that you can advertise.

For me, one alternative might be to develop some content around web content advertising and marketing a Membership site like The Home Business Academy.

The Home Business Academy has Great Training and affiliate payments of 80 per cent monthly recurring payments of $100 in commissions each month.

Let’s say it’s $100 to keep the math simple. I only require 6 active monthly customers to pay for my car.

Once I reach that number, I only need to include the periodic brand-new member to cover cancellations. Getting one or two more members in each month going forward ought to more than cover that.

Now I have a concrete goal to focus on which is persuading 6 individuals to register for the subscription.

My daily jobs will certainly consist of things like developing material that includes an offer to the low-end subscription.

This could be a brief report about making use of the training to construct targeted sub checklists of individuals thinking about utilizing The Home Business Academy training.

I start driving website traffic to the material as well as the opt-in offer on how to start a Home Business and offer The Home Business Academy membership.

I may also craft a brief autoresponder sequence to develop an evergreen funnel.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I could offer free valuable content showcasing the training in HBA’s Membership site.

Knowing the number of sales needed to safely cover my new automobile purchase and increasing my bottom line those extra $600 each month is the motivation to grow a profitable business.

Adding New Opportunities are great helping to overshoot the objective by many additional sales as well as it’s something I can continue to expand month after month.
